JOS RAMSELAAR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Spaac S5

Spaac Motorized Bicycles is co-founded by Jos Ramselaar and Jurrit Hollands. After doing several projects in the bicycle industry it was time to start something ourselves. Electric bicycles were mainly used for recreational purposes by elderly and weren’t seen as an option for commuting by the working class. The Spaac S5 is a very simple yet clever, stylish city bicycle with automatic gears and integrated lights. The Spaac S5 is now available at Juizz.

“We designed the S5 from scratch and detailed the concept into a manufactured product that is now sold in the Netherlands. Having the role as designer, production manager, marketeer is the perfect mix of letting my creativity flow.”

Exasun Destacker
